Which SIP calculator should I use first?

Start with the SIP Calculator if you know your monthly investment amount. Use Goal SIP if you know the target corpus, Step-Up SIP if you plan to increase SIP every year, and Cost of Delay SIP if you want to compare starting now versus starting later.

Is 12% SIP return guaranteed?

No. Any expected annual return entered in a SIP calculator is only an assumption. Actual mutual fund returns can vary due to market conditions, fund performance, costs, taxes, exit loads, and missed installments.

How is SIP future value calculated?

SIP future value uses monthly rate = annual return / 12 / 100 and total months = years x 12. Future value is P x [((1 + r)^n - 1) / r] x (1 + r), where P is monthly SIP, r is monthly rate, and n is total months.

What is cost of delay in SIP?

Cost of delay compares the estimated corpus from starting SIP now with the estimated corpus from starting later. The gap includes missed installments and lost compounding time.
